Review #1: the perfect feel for drawing or writing
2007-04-03 
the fiber points of these pens are just rough enough
to give the user a sense of the texture of the paper.
it's a bit like going back to a standard transmission
after years of driving an automatic.
the inks themselves are, like some modern poetry,
marvellously opaque. images drawn with them scan and copy
beautifully. the very smallest sizes (.05 and .1) tend to
break down with rough use, but even the slightly crushed
tips give a useful line on paper.
used for writing, they encourage a light grip that makes
for less fatigue and there's even something pleasant about
a cap that has to be removed and replaced.

Review #2: perfect for the starting artist
2007-01-11
aspiring cartoonists love the way they feel in their hand and the steady stream of ink left behind
Review #3: Timely and well priced
2006-08-13
I great set of art ink pens...nice flow, but very delicate!
Review #4: A grand inking pen with many sizes to please.
2005-10-20 
These were the very first inking pens I ever got, and I was shocked by how well they worked.
First off, they come in a variety of sizes, from the fairly thick .05 to the deliciously thin .005. It offers a nice range of line widths for artwork and a must-have for comic art. (And be sure to get the Brush Pen, the pen that acts like a mini-paintbrush!)
The peeve I have about Sakura Micron is that the tip of the .005 is a bit fragile and liable to bend, but considering how tiny it is, you sort of expect that.
Overall, a good pen whose sizes and alternate colors really make them stand out, but you have to be careful with the points, especially .005.
Review #5: Couldn't DO without them!
2005-05-14
I am an avid pen and pencil artist. I have tried several brands of pens, these being a "must have" for me. They last quite awhile, the point stays firm, and the ink does not "bleed". The smallest is .005, largest .08. My favorites are the .005 and .01, but I own all sizes and colors. I HIGHLY recommend this set to start with, but beware - once you try these, you will be hooked! |
